Nearing the one-year anniversary of his move to Everton, Cenk Tosun has revealed his two best friends at Goodison Park - as well as the player that has amazed him most during his time on Merseyside.

Joining the Blues from Besiktas back in January, the Turk has endured a rollercoaster first year in England.

After an initial bedding-in period, the forward has respectable seven goals from his last 20 Premier League appearances. However, he has found himself out of the starting XI in recent weeks following an offensive reshuffle from manager Marco Silva.

“He's been playing at this club for 9-10 years. Fans love him very much. He's wearing my number, number 23 (Laughs) but we still get along!

“There is also the goalkeeper [Maarten] Stekelenburg. Usually I sit with him, I'll have a chat with him. I can say these two names.”

Tosun has lost his place in attack to Richarlison in recent weeks following a change in position for the Brazilian after his summer move from Watford.

But despite being rivals for a place in Silva’s starting XI, the Turk has nothing but positives to say about his team-mate, sharing his amazement at Richarlison’s impact at Goodison before making a bold prediction about his future.

“Richarlison is a very young player and still has a lot to learn,” he said. “But despite his young age, he is so experienced and dynamic that it amazes me that he is that good.

“The road is very open. He is a footballer with the potential to play for one of the best clubs in the world.”
